Out To Lunch: I.P.Eaux

Peter Ricchiuti.
Rick Lineberger

In the New Orleans entrepreneurial community there’s a conversation that comes up fairly regularly. It’s speculation about who’s going to be the first company in the new wave of startups to break out. To hit the big time. To be our version of Google, Facebook, or Twitter.

Two of the company names that surface near the top of everybody’s list are Federated Sample and 365 Connect.

Patrick Comer, co-founder and CEO of Federated Sample, and Kerry Kirby, founder of 365 Connect, join Peter Ricchiuti on this edition of Out to Lunch.

In the “You Heard It Here First” segment of the show, Peter introduces entrepreneur Zubin Teherani and his new idea, First Place.

Peter Ricchiuti is the finance professor you wish you had back in college! His insight and humor have twice made him the top professor at Tulane University's A.B. Freeman School of Business. After a successful career on Wall Street, Ricchiuti served for five years as Assistant State Treasurer and Chief Investment Officer for the State of Louisiana. There he skillfully managed the State's $3 billion investment portfolio.
